IMPROVEMENT IN BRACKETS FOR WARP-CREELS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,816, dated June 11, 1872.

To all persons to whom these presents may come:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM WnLon, of Woonsocket, of the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Brackets for Warper-Oreels; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification. and represented in the accompanying drawing, of which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2 a top view, and Fig. 3 a front view, of a warpercreel bracket as improved by me.

' The body A is to be of metalas cast-iron, for instance. In carrying out my invention I form the said body with a chamber, B, to receive a plate, a, of 'glass, and an elastic bearing, b, of leather or other proper material, the chamber, as shown, being extended laterally through the body and open at top, and furnished with shoulders c c for the glass plate a to rest against on its upper surface. The opening or space at over the plate a has two projections, e e, extended from its opposite sides toward each other, with a passage, f, between such projections, and a passage, 9. underneath each and between it and the anti-friction bearin g-plate a, all being as shown in the drawing. The journals of the creels rest on the plate a and against the projections. By means of the passages between and beneath the projections any fibrous matter which may gather upon the plate a may be readily removed from the bracket by a pin or other proper implement drawn across the plate a and between the projections. The elastic bearing b serves to hold the plate a firmly in place against the shoulders, as well as to prevent it from being easily broken by a creel-journal.

I am aware that creel-brackets have been made wholly of glass, and with a solid septum or partition to separate the creel-journals.

I make no claim to such brackets, they, while in use, being very liable to become broken and diflicult to keep free from fibrous accumulations; whereas my improved bracket is not subject to such disadvantages.

I claim as my invention the following, viz.:

1. The warper-creel bracket, provided with the glass or anti-friction plate a. and the elastic bearing 1) arranged in it, as set forth.-

2. Also, the warp-creel bracket as .having the divisional projections e e and the passages f g 9 between and below them, and arranged with the bearing-plate a, substantially in manner as described and represented.

3. Also, the creel-bracket as made with the bearing receiving-chamber B and the two projections e e, arranged as set forth.

WILLIAM WELOH.
